CORNING – A 22-year-old man reported that three men kidnapped him from outside Rolling Hills Casino and tried to rob him sometime before 1 a.m. Sunday.

The victim, Juan Torres Bernal, told law enforcement that he had been walking in the parking lot at the casino when three men inside a sedan asked him to get into the vehicle to look at something, a press release said.

When he got in, the suspects, in a brown or gray, older model, four-door sedan, possibly a Dodge or Ford, took off with the victim in the car, the release said.

The victim couldn”t give a very detailed description because the men had covered their faces, the release said. One of the suspects was wearing a black ski mask. The other two men had green bandannas over their faces.

Police and other local law enforcement were alerted to be on the lookout for the suspects.

The three white men were described as tall and skinny, and about 30 years old, according to police logs. The one wearing a mask was wearing a brown or beige t-shirt and blue jeans. The second had a blue shirt and blue pants. The third suspect wore a white jogging suit.

They were armed with a pipe, a baseball bat and a branch, the logs said.

After going to an orchard in the Corning area, the captors ordered the victim out of the vehicle and told him to kneel on the ground and empty his pockets.

The victim fled and escaped, making it to the Denny”s restaurant at Love”s truck stop, where he contacted law enforcement.

He was uninjured and no items were taken from him.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact the Tehama County Sheriff”s Office at 529-7900.
